A man wanted in connection of the murder of a 53-year-old temple worker has been arrested.

Yesterday police arrested a man known to many as “Ko Sarm Da” who is 39-years-old. He was found in Bang Saray, not far from Pattaya.

The suspect has allegedly confessed to the crime stating the pair were drinking together when the victim said something about his father, which caused an argument to ensue. A scuffle followed, resulting in the temple worker suffering a severe head injury.
